About DD

I used to rent across the walk street when I was in graduate school so fell in love with the street then and came back to buy a place as soon as I could. The area has only gotten better.

DD purchased this apartment in 1990

Why DD chose Los Angeles

We love the walk streets of Venice because there are no cars driving past so its quiet in a way that is impossible on a regular street.

What makes this apartment unique

Whole House Water Filtration System - even the plants drink well so you don't have to buy filtered water. Weekly cleaning by my cleaning person of 10 + years includes laundry of sheets and towels included in the price. This duplex is immaculate. We like it that way. It has an auto locking gate so if you rent bikes you don't have to chain them. Just bring them in the gate. We like long term guests and have had people stay a year. The longer you stay the better your rate.

Fantastic place

We loved everything about this place, the location, the house ( very clean) and Donna was just lovely and helpful and available for anything you might need. Couldn't beat the location, only a couple of blocks from the boardwalk, Abbot kinney, beach and skatepark. Venice beach is a fantastic place and we can't wait to return. We would definitely recommend donnas place and hope to come back and stay here next year.

Cool house, great location!

I stayed in this lovely rental for the month of July with my wife and our two small kids, and had a great time. The apartment, which is the main ground floor of a larger house that has been converted into a duplex, is very clean, well-maintained, decorated, and equipped. The two bedrooms share a jack-and-jill style bathroom, and the second bedroom only has a pull out sofa bed, but it is quite comfortable. The daybed in the sun room, a converted former front porch, offers a third sleeping option. The kitchen is great, and the enclosed, private decked yard is a lovely place to hang out. And the location is hard to beat, with easy access to the beach, Abbott Kinney, etc. Donna, the host was friendly and accommodating. I would definitely stay again.

Peaceful Venice Beach Home

My husband and I spent the month of February here and we had a wonderful, relaxing, stress free month. The home is just as described and the accommodations great. The bed was comfy, the private enclosed area was cool and relaxing, and access to a washer and dryer convenient. Donna, the owner, is very friendly and accommodating. She always responded to any of our questions in a timely manner. The location, couldn't ask for better! A short walk to Venice Beach, Abbott Kinney Street and Main Street for shopping, restaurants and a great cup of coffee. Accessibility to downtown Santa Monica, the SM Pier, and the weekly farmers market were just a short ride. We just loved the area and would definitely return in the future. Also this was our first time using VRBO and we had a positive experience and will use them again in the future.

Magical!

My daughter and I spent 3 weeks here in November while waiting for our house to be ready to move into...

We were in love right away, and I couldn't stop cooking in the gorgeous kitchen. We're native to Venice and Santa Monica, and it's super close to everything, but still very quiet, and pretty. Walking to Abbott Kinney was such a pleasure, and I would definitely recommend this lovely 2 bedroom to a small family, a couple, or friends.

Lovely house very close to beach

We stayed at this property for 3 weeks with our 2 boys. The house is exactly as described, nicely furnished and a well staffed kitchen. The outdoor area is quiet and cool even on hot days due to tree coverage. Instructions on TV and Appliances are very good and easy to follow. We really felt at home after a short time. Abbott Kinney Street, Main Street, Beach etc. are all within Minutes walking. Parking is covered so car does not get hot, but the streets are narrow, do not go beyond mid-size with your rental car. The owner was very nice and supportive. We will come back for sure!
